the Nitro Circus action sport event when the accident happened.
The bike carrying
all four of them made it to the top but failed to cross over a ramp, falling
back down and sending them flying. The men were audience members and also
stuntmen.
After the accident,
there was a voiceover in the background heard announcing: "That is theworst crash we have ever had."
The injured pair
were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. One is believed to have a hip injury and
the other has facial injuries. Teams of people
scrambled to the men after the bike tumbled to the floor. The accident was
broadcast on the big screens as the MC for the event told the audience: “It was
obviously not planned – but occasionally
something could go wrong. The show was
temporarily halted while the injured stuntmen were rushed to the hospital.
